Jesse Sylvia was in the big blind, facing off against a player in the middle position on the turn reading 
. Sylvia checked, his opponent bet 700 and Sylvia fired back with a 2,250 check-raise. His rival took some time and then reluctantly released his cards.
Several players checked around on the 
flop, including Maurice Hawkins in early position, and the 
fell on the turn. Action checked to the cutoff and he bet 600. Hawkins check-raised to 1,500 and the cutoff called.
The 
hit the river and Hawkins bet 2,800.
"I missed," said the cutoff as he tossed his hand into the muck.
"I didn't," replied Hawkins with a smile as the dealer pushed the pot his way. "You didn't wanna hit."
Michael Wang raised to 500 from mid-position and the player in the small blind three-bet to 1,500. The big blind folded and Wang four-bet to 3,800 which the small blind called.
The flop came 
, the player in the small blind check-shoved when Wang bet 3,850 for about 10,000. Wang snap-called.

on the turn and the 
on the river for Wang's aces to hold and eliminate his opponent.

Shaun Deeb won his second bracelet of the summer yesterday when he topped the $10,000 NLH 6-Max Championship. Battling for the Player of the Year, Deeb is still fully committed to the grind. He just took his seat in The Closer, trying to score some more points in the POY, which has mostly been a two-horse race between Deeb and 2018 Hall of Fame inductee John Hennigan.
Deeb accepted congratulations from the players at his table but from now on, it's everyone for himself.
Heidi May raised to 450 in second position and her neighbor three-bet to 1,150. May matched the price and check-called 800 when the 
flopped. The turn was checked through and the 
completed the board. May fired 3,000, getting a fold to vault over a starting stack.
